The party of Myanmar's detained elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi called on Tuesday for her immediate release from detention and for the junta to recognize her victory in November elections, a day after a military coup sparked global outrage.

The coup followed a landslide election win months ago by her party, the National League for Democracy, which the military has refused to accept, citing allegations of fraud.
